Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Last Thursday I had a dentist appointment and this is what I saw when I arrived. It’s cold, but the blossoms of spring are here. It made my heart happy.

Tomorrow we’re heading to the boat for the weekend. The highs are going to be in the upper 60s all weekend. It’s time to enjoy our boat again.

What are you thankful for today?

  1. Love the blooming trees! We are happy you get to be with your boat for the weekend. Boating for you is like dog sports for us. Enjoy your boat time.

    • Yes boating for us is just as fun as dog sports is to you. It’s a wonderful thing. 🙂

  2. I’m thankful that I keep finding ways to teach children things they need to know in order to be proficient. Our district is 50% proficient in the core subject I teach, and that is at an A school. I don’t find that to be a very comforting fact. I am reveling in being able to make a small difference for these kids this year. It feels really, really good.

    • Good teacher are worth their weight in gold. I know you’re one of the good ones. Thank you for that. 🙂

  3. Our blooms aren’t out yet but it was in the 70s here yesterday. Have a happy time boating!!! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

    • It’s most wonderful. It will get cold again, but right now the weather is perfect. 🙂

    • We’re not going on a cruise, we’re just going to go to the boat and get it ready for the season. It’s a fun thing to do. 🙂

    I’m thankful that I don’t have to pay the boat’s expenses..

    • Boating is not cheap at all, Kismet. You can come along for a cruise if you wish. Love you. 🙂

    • We have more fair weather than not here. Only about two months of winter and then the weather heads toward spring. 🙂

My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!

    I am grateful you shared these pictures Sandee because they made my heart happy too! Big hugs! 🙂 <3

    • It was a huge surprise. I’ve not gone to the dentist in February before. Got all messed up with my cleaning when Covid hit. 🙂

    • We’re hoping for the same. It will be good to visit our boat again. 🙂

  7. How beautiful! I’m surprised our trees haven’t started blooming yet. Have a wonderful time out on the lake (?) I used to love going out on my 16 foot pontoon, but couldn’t very well spend the night on it.

    • We are on the California Delta. 1,100 miles of waterway all the way to the San Francisco Bay and out into the ocean. 🙂

        • We have two boats. A 340 Sea Ray Sundancer. That means it’s 34′ long. It has a galley, to fridges, a head with shower and a nice comfortable bed. We have everything we need to go on a cruise. 🙂

            • The second boat is a Sea Ray 185 or 18′ 6″. It’s our runabout. When we want to get somewhere fast and get under all the bridges we take that. 🙂

    Gosh! I so can’t wait to drive down the hill and see the Okanagan Orchards in bloom! Thanks for giving us a taste of the spring to come! Thanks for visiting us and thanks for your wonderful hops! Sandee you are wonderful and have a marvellously happy day.

    • It made my heart so happy to see all these blossoms. There are more and more each day. Love and scritches to all. 🙂

    Absolutely beautiful! I adore white and pink blossoms, and these are stunning. I hate the dentist but seeing these on the way in would make the trip a little more tolerable. Spring is coming! Enjoy boating this weekend guys, have the best time possible 💜 xx

    • My dentist is wonderful. I call him doctor painless. My hygienist I’ve had for 25 years. 🙂

    Glorious blossoms! 💞 Thanks for sharing… Ours won’t be out until May, but thankful for a mild winter with March winds whistling among the trees as February draws to a close. Have a blessed and beautiful day, Sandee! xo

    • We aren’t going to cruise anywhere this weekend, but we’ll be enjoying our boat and getting it ready for the season. A great time of year. 🙂

  13. We look forward to seeing trees in bloom again!
    Today, I am thankful that we have the means to visit any veterinarian that we want to.

    • We will. We’re going to get the boat ready for a cruise. Planning one in a few weeks. We’re so ready. 🙂

  15. Oh my goodness! Isn’t this really early? I’m sure we’re still in for another dip in the temps so I’m hoping our blossoms stay out of sight for another month or so. xoxox

    • No it’s not early for us. This happens every single February. I wait for it too. 🙂

    • We keep getting teased with the weather, but the blossoms are all over the place. 🙂

    • It sure did that for me too. I’m so ready. We’re looking forward to our weekend. 🙂

  16. Oh Wow! ~ what beautiful photographs of the springtime tree blossoms ~ gorgeous!

    Lots of hugs to you from me and Angel and so glad you are heading to the boat this weekend ~ wish I was!

    • We’re getting ready to head out in a few. The sun is shining and we’re smiling. Smooches to Luke. 🙂
